Stroke prevention.

A sudden violation of the blood supply to the brain (stroke) can be fatal or cause severe neurological disorders (disorders of the brain and / or peripheral nervous system). To prevent this from happening, it is necessary to pay attention to the risk factors that trigger stroke and prevent their development.

The risk of getting a stroke exists in the following cases:

  • A sedentary lifestyle,
  • Untrained vessels (including the vessels of the brain),
  • Diseases that interfere with the patency of blood vessels (atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, angiopathy, osteochondrosis, coagulopathy and others),
  • High levels of stress,
  • Chronic fatigue,
  • Uncontrolled high pressure,
  • Bad habits (smoking, alcohol, drug addiction).

A number of diseases to which a person is predisposed due to hereditary factors are difficult to control. But it is quite realistic to preserve your health and ability to work for many years, observing a number of rules as the prevention of stroke:

  • Doing exercises in the morning is a set of simple exercises for stretching muscles, stretching the spine, elements of cardio training (jumps, dance steps).
  • Walk long distances.
  • Take a contrast shower to stimulate the work of the vascular wall.
  • Revise the diet in favor of low-calorie plant foods.
  • Do not get carried away with carbohydrates that raise blood sugar levels.
  • In nutrition, give priority to fatty plant foods, rather than animal fats.
  • Monitor blood pressure levels by preventing high blood pressure levels with drug therapy.
  • To prevent stagnation in microvessels, take drugs that improve microcirculation: nootropil, emoxipin and the like.
  • Regularly, as a consequence, monitor the state of the blood, preventing it from thickening (take an analysis for the prothrombin index) and take blood thinners according to the doctor's prescription.
  • Avoid stressful situations as much as possible, as a result of avoiding conflicts by the side.
